HotPlug Disk Drive Replacement

The internal disk drives (up to four) are located at the front right side of the server (as you are facing it).
When proper software and hardware procedures are followed, internal disk drives can be removed and
replaced while the server is running.
CAUTION Disk Drives can be removed or installed with the server still powered on. This is referred to as
a "manual HotPlug".
However, DO NOT replace a HotPlug disk drive until a controlled shutdown of the operating
system has been performed.
Hardware HotPlug Procedure
To replace a disk drive in the server, grasp the tab at the bottom of the cam latch on the selected disk drive,
push the button inside the cam latch, and pull the cam latch out and up. The disk drive will unlock. Pull
gently until it slides completely free.
The following graphic shows disk features.
